CONNECT without V8i

Why does there seem to be no beginner's tutorials for unadulterated CONNECT? For us who are brand new to MicroStation V8i is irrelevant. At some point the V8i umbilical chord will have to be cut. I know I will get a lot of flack from V8i users...... but I shouldn't have to learn V8i before learning CONNECT. Maybe in 2019 MicroStation can move forward and leave the past behind (at least have that option for newbies).
